Interdisciplinary Science Experiments

交叉科学实验 本科生课程(必修)

With the development of science itself to a deeper and higher level, the objects and ways of thinking of scientific research are also developing towards openness, creativity, and comprehensiveness. For a more in-depth understanding of the properties, connections, and laws of different disciplines of a certain problem, it is necessary to research the extension of the discipline at the macro level. This kind of research requires the results of in-depth research in multiple sub-disciplines.

 

 

General Chemistry B

普通化学B 本科生课程(必修)

This course is specifically designed for first-year engineering students, offering 64 hours of systematic instruction to help you grasp the core principles of chemistry and their foundational applications in engineering. The curriculum covers five key modules: states of matter, chemical thermodynamics, aqueous solution equilibria, microscopic structures, and elemental chemistry, progressing from macroscopic phenomena to microscopic insights. You will explore ideal gas laws and molecular kinetic theory, understand the role of thermodynamic functions (e.g., enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy) in engineering material design, and apply knowledge of acid-base equilibria, redox reactions, and electrochemistry to real-world challenges such as battery technology and metal corrosion protection. By integrating quantum mechanical models and chemical bonding theories, you will analyze the relationship between material structures and their properties. The course emphasizes practical engineering integration—for instance, using phase diagrams to optimize metal alloy fabrication, applying solubility product rules to tackle industrial wastewater treatment, and leveraging chemical kinetics to enhance reaction efficiency. Teaching methods blend theoretical lectures, case studies, and problem-solving sessions, supplemented by three assignments, midterm, and final exams to consolidate knowledge and foster scientific thinking. As a cornerstone of engineering disciplines, chemistry equips you with essential tools for future studies in energy, materials, and environmental engineering—whether understanding electronic behaviors in semiconductors or designing high-efficiency catalysts, chemical principles are indispensable.

 

 

Polymer Physics

高分子物理 研究生课程(选修)

This course presents the mechanical, optical, and transport properties of polymers with respect to the underlying physics and physical chemistry of polymers in melt, solution, and solid state. Topics include conformation and molecular dimensions of polymer chains in solutions, melts, blends, and block copolymers; an examination of the structure of glassy, crystalline, and rubbery elastic states of polymers; thermodynamics of polymer solutions, blends, crystallization; liquid crystallinity, microphase separation, and self-assembled organic-inorganic nanocomposites. Case studies include relationships between structure and function in technologically important polymeric systems.
